Tri-amp with stereo SS on bottom / tube monos top



I've been considering a set-up of driving my Tyler Acoustic taylo ref monitors with a solid state amp for the lows and a pair of tube monoblocks for the midrange/highs.

Do the amps have to be exactly matching in output? If not, is there a curve of diminishing return where they should be close? Does it matter at all?

Great question which I had asked at the new AC BB.

I am having my speaker's put together at present and had to look into it myself.What was said about having an Active Crossover with it external is what I am having done.Just makes plain sense to do it that way and I also would be wary of messing with the stock Crossover's if it were me.

Here is a unit that was shown to me that might help you!The PT-3 is what you need to look at for a 3way Active Crossover.

I was thinking about getting Tubes also,but I do not think I will go that route.SS amps will be hassle free and I think mixing & matching will be better unless I find people who have knowledge into amp synergy for NEAR M50's and Passive Pre-Amps.

Good luck
